Prince of Heaven

A few days later, the second princess Rong Yun came into the East Palace and gave Rong Shi a lot of folk gadgets.

"I exchanged letters with him. The day before yesterday I mentioned in my heart that I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. The palace is boring and boring. I really want to see the gadgets made by craftsmen on the street... He secretly asked someone to give it to me today. After entering the palace, I thought you might not have been outside the palace for a long time, so I picked a few and brought them to you..."

Rong Yun took out a clay figurine and handed it to Rong Shi, leaning forward and whispering to Rong Shi, "Master Jing dragged the news he sent me, let me tell you, today's Zishi, the temple in the west of the city."

Rong Shi looked down at this colorful clay figurine. The doll was colorful, but strangely harmonious. It was short and fat, with a naive expression and hands in a bow, as if it would say a few auspicious words in the next moment.

"Thank you sister."

Rong Yun said: "It's fine if you like it, don't take those rumors to heart, although what the father did... But he values ​​you anyway."

Rong Shi bowed his head and remained silent.Rong Yun tried to persuade her again, and left after half a day.

After nightfall, Rong Shi changed into a suit that was easy to move around, took his knife and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night.

Liguo Xinfeng Suzaku is the only god, and temples are everywhere, and there are several temples in Shangjing City alone.This temple in the west of the city is quite special, it is only one of the three oldest temples in the history of Li Kingdom, and the incense offerings are more vigorous than the other temples during the day.

The architectural style of the temple is also very different from other places. It can be seen from the spiers, arches and the clothes and hair accessories of the characters in the painted paintings of the temple, which are traces from 1000 years ago.

There was silence everywhere, the servant was knocked unconscious by Rong Shi, and then lay outside the door and fell asleep.

The temple is brightly lit, but there is nothing but frescoes, censers and statues.There is a statue in the middle of the temple. The statue is tall and looks like a young man, wearing special clothes with a long belt.

The sculptors are skilled, and they portray the statues lifelike, even the details such as the folds of the clothes and eyelashes are carefully sculpted.

Rong Shi raised his head to look at the tall statue, as if he was staring at the statue with closed eyes.

Suddenly he was patted on the shoulder. Judging from the angle of the pat, the other party should be slightly taller than him, and he was very familiar with him.

Rong Shi turned his head and bumped into the light and shadow suddenly.

There was a flicker in Zhongru Yexing's eyes.

There was a smile in those eyes in the blink of an eye: "Is your Highness going out of the palace smoothly?"

"Well, it didn't cause any movement, just go back at dawn." Rong Shi said lightly.

Jing Huai nodded, and said in admiration: "It seems that I was worrying too much. Your Highness is so young, and his martial arts are so strong. He really is a hero."

"En." Rong Shi accepted the compliment calmly.

It was as cold as ever.However, his uncomfortable fingers exposed his inner heart which was contrary to appearance to Jing Huai's eyes.

Jing Huai shook his head with a smile, but didn't expose him, but went straight to the point: "Come with me."

The two turned from a door next to a long corridor. The temple was old and mottled, and the air exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

Rong Shi glanced left and right, and the hand holding the knife tightened.

He smelled danger.

"This place is a bit strange." Rong Shi reminded Jing Huai.

Jing Huai didn't look back, his expression was calm, and his steps were unhurried: "Don't worry about it."

"why?"

"Do you still remember that when you were a child, you were once kidnapped by the people of the temple?"

"Remember, there was a demon-like person who dressed and spoke neither male nor female."

Jing Huai smiled: "That's the high priest of the temple, if he hears about it, I'm afraid this matter will not be good."

"I'm not afraid."

"Well, don't be afraid, it's just a lost dog who was expelled from the division."

Rong Shi immediately understood: "He was also Mr. Wei's disciple?"

Jing Huai nodded and said: "Yes, but because he violated the teacher's rules, he was kicked out. Unexpectedly, he sat all the way to the high position of the temple."

Rong Shi was not interested in others and did not speak.

Jing Huai picked up the original words and said: "His name is Wen Ding, and he likes to study sorcery. All the skills he has learned are used in crooked ways. This temple is Wen Ding's site, so there will be some evil things coming and going, but They won't move around without the owner's order, you just need to stay calm and don't disturb them."

There was a fog at the end of the corridor, and there were only two people's footsteps and conversation all around.

"Where are we going?"

"Go get a poor mouse."

"mouse?"

"It's the one who spread rumors about you behind your back."

After walking to the end, it is the back of the temple.

Here is the residence of the practitioners in the temple, including the servants who serve, all live in this area.

In the dead of night, everyone is sleeping peacefully.

Jing Huai said to Rong Rong, "Wait for me here."

Rong Shi nodded, watching Jing Huai walk forward into a room, and not long after, he came out with a person in his arms.The man was bound hands and feet, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, struggling.

Jing Huai threw this person in front of Rong Shi, and said: "It's him, now I'll leave it to you."

Rong Shi lowered his head to look, and saw the man's face clearly through the hazy moonlight.Although five years later, the appearance of the other party has also changed due to his age, but Rong Shihuan recognized him at the first sight - the third prince.

In order to save face, Mrs. Gouyue's meddling with others was concealed by the emperor, so the third prince was replaced by the third prince, but he was no longer the arrogant and unscrupulous third prince five years ago.

During the temple cleaning, the third prince lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were covered with strong resentment. When Rong Shi recognized him, he also recognized Rong Shi.

Rong Shi silently looked at the person who was tied under his feet, and did not respond to the reversal of status.

However, the third prince's reaction was quite strong.

He struggled violently, his face was full of shame, resentment and jealousy, if he hadn't been gagged, he would definitely have cursed.

On the other hand, the deposed prince who was allowed to be bullied and scolded by him transformed into a prince again, and after five years, he appeared in front of him with a superior attitude.

Rong Shi just looked at him expressionlessly, which made the third prince feel like a monkey being watched playing a monkey show, and he gradually calmed down.

It's just that the anger and embarrassment overflowing his chest almost made his heart burst.

Rong Shi looked up at Jing Huai: "That mouse is him?"

"Yes. But it's not just him, he's just a pawn at best." Jing Huai glanced at the people on the ground lightly, then chuckled, "Let's settle the score slowly."

It's been five years, but Rong Shi's memory is as clear as yesterday.All kinds of past surged, with blood, mixed with darkness, mixed with suffocation.

He held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and the blade was unsheathed amidst the sound of Jin Ming.

There were two "puchi", blood splashing, and then there was the sound of human heads rolling in the grass.

Jinghuaidan

Looking at this scene steadily, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable with such a bloody scene, but evoked a hidden smile instead.After a moment of silence, he calmly said to each other, "Let's go."

Regardless of killing or burying, killing the prince in the temple is not good for the aftermath, as if he was afraid that things would not go wrong the next day.

Back to that eerie and deep corridor, Rong Shi was much more silent than when he came.

Jing Huai explained to him: "He is the child of Gouyue and Kan Guoxizuo, who is now hiding in this temple. Whoever changed it has not been found out, but his son is dead, and he will find it by himself soon. He came to your door. At that time, I will bring him in front of you for you to deal with."

Rong Shi bowed his head and said nothing, and walked half a step behind Jing Huai, the air around him became quite gloomy and depressed.

Jing Huai stopped in his tracks, and when he saw Rong Momo walked in front of him and was about to move on, he grabbed his hand.

Rong Shi was suddenly pulled back, startled in his heart, and then recovered quickly.

Jing Huai let go of his hand, but he took two steps closer and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

It was pitch black all around, and Rong Shi's eyes almost merged with the environment, it was very thick darkness.The hidden past in the darkness was split open with a knife, and it was stained a strange red with the splash of blood.

"You see, I'm actually..." Rong Shi said half a sentence, and then paused for a long time.

Jing Huai didn't say anything, just stood beside him and waited patiently.He was much taller than a boy of seventeen or eighteen, calm and silent.

The two of them were very close, and when they were so close, they could hear the sound of breathing coming from the darkness. It was light and shallow, but it easily covered the thick and sticky in the darkness, letting Rong Shi's almost suffocating heart suddenly relax. , and then slowly, following the breathing rhythm of the other party, he took a deep and shallow breath, and said the difficult words naturally.

"I'm actually not what you imagine. I'm not obedient or cute. I used to think only about murder and revenge. Even if it's killing my father and king, I've thought about it."

"I'm just a..." Rong Shi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Jing Huai's body moved slightly, he raised his hand halfway, Rong Shi's eyes suddenly widened, he pulled Jing Huai over, and at the same time, the scimitar in his hand was out of its sheath, and slashed down extremely fast.Jing Huai turned his head and looked over, only to see a strange-looking person

The shape creature stood at the original position behind him, its body twisted, without a head, the severed incision on the neck was flat and smooth, and it was bleeding at the moment.

its head...

Jing Huai looked at the ground not far away, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the ceiling unwillingly.

Rong Shi put away the knife numbly, not daring to look in Jing Huai's direction immediately.He lowered his eyelids and whispered: "Those things seem to be stimulated by something, and they are gradually getting out of control."

Jing Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around: "It's really troublesome in the other party's territory, let's go out first."

The thick black fog flowing behind them seemed to be slow but actually hit them at an extremely fast speed.

Jing Huai grabbed Rong Shi's hand and ran forward.

The shape of the black fog changed, and it turned into the appearance of a person, but this person's facial features were ugly and distorted, and even his limbs were extremely uncoordinated.But the speed is getting faster and faster, and the number is also increasing.

When Jing Huai and Rongshi were about to run out, a thick fog flew in from the other side. The two stopped their bodies suddenly and stood back to back. When the ugly monster approached, they drew out their weapons at the same time to kill the monster .

However, these things couldn't be cut to death, their heads fell off, and after a while, they grew back again, one after another.

Jing Huai was feeling exhausted, suddenly found something, and said to him, "Their hearts are on the right side!"

After Jing Huai finished speaking, he saw two monsters around Rongshi who were only one step away from rushing towards him, and immediately swung his sword to stab the monster on the right side of the heart.

The monster immediately dissipated like smoke, and a spell turned from golden to dark, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the tentacle-like disgusting hand of the monster that originally attacked Jing Huai pierced his shoulder, and Jing Huai used a backhanded sword to finish him off.The disgusting smell in the air was so strong that it overwhelmed the smell of blood.

Seeing that it was effective, they followed the same pattern, one knife at a time, and soon there were invalid spells all over the place. The crisis was temporarily resolved, the two looked at each other, and quickly ran out of the corridor and came to the temple at the very beginning.

The tall statue of Suzaku was shrouded in golden red candlelight, dispelling all the gloom and weirdness.

Rong Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then his pupils shrank sharply: "Are you injured?!"

Jing Huai's face turned pale, holding a sword in his right hand, and pressing his left hand on his right shoulder, looking at the person next to him who showed such strong emotion for the first time.

The young man forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's not serious. I underestimated the enemy, so I didn't hurt you... Don't worry, I have experience in dealing with this kind of injury. Come here and help me."

Rongshi listened to Jing Huai's instructions, untied his shirt, cut off the blackened flesh next to the wound with the scalded blade, then took out a medicine bottle from Jing Huai's arms and sprinkled the powder on the wound , and then tore a piece of cloth from the clean underwear to bandage the wound for him.

His face was paler than Jing Huai's, and the fear in his eyes was solidified, but every step he took was steady and quick, and his movements were as nimble as an apprentice in a medical clinic.
